Your website says 200+ data sources. How the heck did you generate so many? This project does not look very old.

Oh, I see. The parent company, Turbot, has 100+ employees and has been at this for a while.

  Steampipe is a new project we launched in Jan 2021. Turbot is leading the build, and has been working with cloud APIs since 2014. We're bootstrapped, and have a lot less than 100 people, but are hiring (engineering, marketing, tech writing) if anyone would like to get involved :-)

    Crunchbase says 101-250 employees, so they must have guessed wrong. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/turbot https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/turbot Hope you get to that level soon, looks like a great product.

      It will actually be better for everyone the smaller the number of employees is as long as all positions are covered and the bus factor is acceptable. Remember: WhatsApp used to be 50 people.

We currently have 37 open source plugins [1] like AWS, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes, Hacker News, etc. More are in development by Turbot and community members [2]. Each plugin has many tables, e.g. 223 for AWS [3], 23 for GitHub [4]. The 200+ on the home page is referring to tables. Most tables have a single API source behind them, but others like aws_s3_bucket [5] have ~10 API calls for each row to collect related data like tags, versioning, etc. (We're excited about the rapid growth of our plugins / tables, but can see that if you read it as plugin == data source then the 200+ would be wildly impressive.) 1 - https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins 2 - https://github.com/topics/steampipe https://github.com/topics/steampipe 3 - https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/github/aws https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/github/aws 4 - https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/github/tables https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/github/tables 5 - https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/aws/tables/aws_s3_bucket https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/aws/tables/aws_s3_bu...
